Week Fifty

Zeeke took a shower without any tears or screams for the first time. He still doesn't love it or anything, but he seems to be trusting us more. He has learned how to clap his hands, which is fun. He continues to fearlessly climb the stairs. None of this toys can hold a candle to the staircase. He just wants to climb them over and over again. Since there's no stopping him, we're taking advantage of his dedication to help learn how to do it safely. He still doesn't want to go down yet. Zeeke now gets annoyed when Karen carries him in the Ergo, so she has switched to using the stroller, which Zeeke is getting used to.

Monday was Zeeke's second music class and second subway ride. Later in the afternoon, he napped in car.

Wednesday, Karen & Zeeke went to the Zoo with the twins.

Thursday, Karen's mom visited to babysit.

Friday, Zeeke and Karen hung out with friends at Carolyn's house and Karen bought Zeeke a little kid-sized table.

Saturday, Liz & Kate babysat for three hours, so that we could go to brunch with Jen & Kim. It seemed like the three of them had a great time while we were gone.

Sunday, Grandpa Bob & Grandma Joy visited. They brought Zeeke lots of cool gifts, including a new book with a mirror on every page and a play mat with the Very Hungry Caterpillar on it. Everyone went to lunch at Birra, then to the park where Zeeke showed off his standing and cruising skills before walking home down Passyunk Ave.

Zeeke's favorite book of the week: And the Train Goes... by William Bee
